Basics
- A Liquid Hydrocarbon
- Mainly used as fuel
- Can be:
- Non-Renewable Diesel -near always just called "Diesel or Biodiesel
- Bio-Diesel
- This can be in two forms:
- Transesterification Biodiesel (This process takes PPO WVO etc then it undergoes a Transesterification Reaction , is washed, and is Biodiesel) (It will have slightly different properties as Petrodiesel in areas such as Gel Point and Fuel Lubricity etc)
- Hydrotreatment Biodiesel (Often Called Renewable Diesel ) (This uses the same feedstocks, but uses processes more akin to conventional refineries ( Hydrotreating , Fractional Distillation etc) For all intensive purposes should be identical to Fossil Diesel
- This can be in two forms:
- Another aspect would be Bio-Refinery derived diesel from Pyrolysis Oil or Biocrude
- As with Renewable Diesel it should be identical to Petrodiesel it is different in that it can use nearly any feedstock and to an extent Electricity (RE: Power-to-Fuels )
- Short of some Government Projects, it isn't commercialized/discussed as much and thus isn't that directly relevant
Internal Links
- Bio-Diesel
- DME (A potential alternative)
